Another from this past High School Football Season.

Nikon D-600, 70-200 f2.8 Nikon Lens.

I cropped it in to get better detail of the action.

The panorama idea is nice to see the full context of the shot but leaves me wondering where the action is. I do not like that tilted horizontal behind the action. If you crop for the action, the four guys in the center, you realize the ball, the center of attention, is hidden behind the player's arm. If you are in single shot mode, then capturing the peak of action is very hard to do. I shoot sports in continuous mode. Having used slow twin lens reflexes for many years, I luxuriate in continuous shooting.

I shoot sports in continuous mode too.

The panorama is nice for context. I agree with abc1234 that cropping to the central 4 figures would provide an enhanced action shot. Depending on which players you had the most interest in, I might expand slightly to include #33.


Looking at the download I noticed a bit of noise -- not unusual in night shots like this. I find Imagenomic Noiseware to be very useful in eliminating noise in PP without washing away detail. You can check it out here:

I usually clear the noise first, then level the shot so that evening the horizon, which does involve re-sampling, doesn't accentuate aberrations due to noise.
